Abstractthe main objective of this project is to develop an

inverter current and voltage for any system requiring this
conversion. An inverter is a power device that converts direct
current into AC, this conversion is necessary to inject the power
to any electrical circuit, in addition to controlling the modulation
inverter uses PWM (this signal is generated by an Arduino 1).
The reason PWM is used to make the output current is of the
same frequency as power grids to prevent damage to electrical
systems, to achieve this switching MOSFET IRF540 is used.

thyristors, power transistors, IGBT, SCR and among others,

these act as switches and light according to the design of the
control circuit for operation.

KeywordsPWM, inverter current and voltage, transistors,

electric power.

I. INTRODUCTION
An investor usually handles the conversion of DC - AC,
because typically what is sought is to obtain a sinusoidal
signal at the load that has the same frequency as electrical
network, and to achieve this PWM is used (this signal control
can be obtained from any controller or a pulse generator 555),
investors are used for multiple applications including feeding
AC motors, uninterruptible power systems (UPS), electronic
ballasts and others. An inverter full bridge control is more
likely, because that can handle twice the power half bridge for
the same effort on switches and can work in two ways: control
phase slip without phase slip.

Transistors Q1 and Q2 input voltage then are activated
simultaneously at the time that Vs is present in the load.
However when Q3 and Q4 are activated, the voltage across the
load is -Vs that is the inverse of the input voltage.

II. PREVIOUS WORK

Circuit Theory and analyzed in class and review of documents
and power electronic books. Review of forums and practices
carried out in other institutions of higher education, and
contributions by teachers Engineers ESPOCH familiar with the
matter.
III. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
DC-AC converter or inverter: Alternating voltage is to
obtain a direct voltage supply this is accomplished by using
switching devices and driving time variation thereof. The role
of an investor is to change a DC input voltage to an output
voltage AC, investors use is very common in industrial
applications such as AC propulsion motors, variable speed
induction heating, power and backup power supplies for
discontinued.
Single-phase full-bridge inverters: This type of investor has
the power circuit comprises four semiconductor which can be

The MOC3021 is a very important within a string

inverter circuit optocoupler, because it helps to
protect the system from overvoltage and overcurrent
occurring by switching thereof.
In the circuit is needed for a transistor to allow or not
the passage of current, and this is accomplished by
sending a voltage to the collector of the transistor and
a signal coming from the MOC3021 made qeu switch
the transistor, in this case only switched same two
MOC3021 to obtain a sinusoidal output, and for this
you must change the polarity at a frequency equal to
60 Hz.
To obtain a desired output frequency to use our
circuit PWM signal Arduino, the same will vary the
pulse width to simulate a sine wave output circuit.
to appreciate a sine wave at the output of the circuit is
made using a transformer of 6-120 V, it should be
emphasized that we could not supply a load since the
current font was too small was in the range of 200300mA.
V. RECOMMENDATIONS

It is recommended when fed a load of 110V inverter,

DC power source must have a very strong current in

the order of 5-40A, if they have one of more current

is much better as well will be able to connect much
more load circuit.
to make a good switching to use the MOC of any
series, since these devices come with internal diode
for overcurrent and overvoltage protection controller
and control device which is connected to the gate.
consider that to give a pulse to the circuit should
consider the MOC that must commute equal, in our
case are 1 to 3 and 2 to 4, to achieve can use a gate to
invert the signal that activates the MOC this should
do it till achieve a frequency of 60Hz, which is the
frequency of the electrical networks Ecuador.
